It is Malta's most famous World Heritage Site, with a long history of temples, said to be more than 1,000 years older than the ancient Egyptian pyramids. The temple is made of many boulders, each weighing up to 50 tons, and such a magnificent building, which was not known how it was built five thousand years ago, is really incredible.
After arriving at the stock, it is really difficult to imagine how such a big thing as more than 3,000 years ago was how to set her up, and I can't help but admire the wisdom of ancient people.
Very historical feeling, feel good, I like this feeling very much, the historical atmosphere is very good.
